.Dt MSDOS 5
.Os
.Sh NAME
.Nm msdos
.Nd msdos file system
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Bd -literal
/dev/ad0sN /dos msdos rw 0 0
.Ed
.Pp
To link into the kernel:
.Cd "options MSDOSFS"
.Pp
To load as a kernel loadable module:
.Dl kldload msdosfs
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Pp
The
.Nm
file system driver will permit the
.Fx
kernel to read and write
.Nm
based file systems.
.Pp
The most common usage follows:
.Pp
.Dl "# mount_msdos /dev/ad0sN
.Pp
where
.Sy N
is the partition number and
.Pa /mnt
is a mount point directory in the root file system.
Some users tend to create a
.Pa /dos
directory for
.Nm
mount points.
This helps to keep better track of the file system,
and make it more easily accessible.
.Pp
It is possible to define an entry in
.Pa /etc/fstab
that looks similar to:
.Bd -literal
/dev/ad0sN /dos msdos rw 0 0
.Ed
.Pp
This will mount an
.Nm
based partition at the
.Pa /dos
mount point during system boot.
Using
.Pa /mnt
as a permanent mount point is not advised as its intention
has always been to be a temporary mount point for floppy and
zip disks.
See
.Xr hier 7
for more information on
.Fx
directory layout.
